It is distinct from the WikiProject Tree of Life in that it attempts to cover patterns, process and theory rather than systematics and taxonomy.

Missing mention

This page should mention ectospermalege and mesospermalege which are specialized organs used to store and transport sperm in bedbugs. Raul654 (talk) 04:21, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The ectospermalege is not a sperm storage organ. The mesospermalege does temporarily store the sperm according to that page before they journey on to the seminal receptacle, spermathecae or conceptacle. I added a mention and links.Skingski (talk) 03:17, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I suggest adding File:Traumatic insemination 2.jpg to this article. It contains a picture of a traumatically inseminated female bedbug storing sperm in her spermalege. Raul654 (talk) 04:24, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Added wikilink to the Traumatic insemination page where that photo appears.Skingski (talk) 02:47, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
